Don't even try to ruin my good mood!

Usually when someone specifically says "The City", they are referring to Manhattan, NYC.

I'm sorry, I'm from San Francisco so I have a little West Coast Bias.

Of course it does seem appropriate with the smugness of most New Yorkers so go figure.

I just said "the city" because I was being vague, not implying that there's only one city of any importance.

But yes, it was Manhattan.

Well that didn't seem overly necessary.

It probably wasn't, and I apolgize. It's just kind of how I feel about New York in General. They think they are the center of the universe and living out west, I see a bit of a superiority complex to that city. Again, in the interest of keeping this thread civil, I retract that statement and move on.

That's true, but then BolianAdmiral came in with the there's only one city worth mentioning thing and that was what brought that bit of arrogance out.

Crying. I only dare say this because you strike me as a schadenfreude-ish kind of guy.

Yeah, I imagine living in San Francisco you guys refer to that as the city.

In real life, sure. On here though, I probably would be a little specific, but then I say where I'm from in my Location so what is the first city you think of when you think Bay Area. Probably not Oakland or San Jose, even though I think San Jose is getting up there.

LOL... aye, and I knew that. A New Yorker knows.

There's nothing arrogant about it. It is a fact. New Yorkers call Manhattan "The City"... it is the local's nickname for Manhattan. Ask any native New Yorker, or visit any NYC forum and ask, and they will tell you that. Like I said, I'm a New Yorker, so I knew what he meant right off.

I'm unpacking and trying to force myself to adapt to a radically different time zone before I have to get up for work tomorrow. But along the way I may have sort of set up a date for Friday night so we'll see how that goes.

That's cause we are.

As for my good mood, I have many reasons for a good mood.

 

[tomalak301]

Well, know we know New York embraces the smugness. Maybe what I said was more of an unintended compliment than insult.

What awesome things are you doing?

Being myself is awesome enough.

Same here.

From California.

The ACTUAL center of the universe.

 

[iguana_tonante]

Place of residence is quite inconsequential. I'm awesome everywhere I am.

I had a family reunion yesterday. It was a blast! Still giggling over some trash-talking bloke who interrupted our game of horse-shoes. He was really good, getting ringers on a regular basis, but a first timer like me coasted in on good first timer's luck (heh heh) sent him packing.

My New Yorker parents raised me in the 'burbs, but life still revolved around The City, so I knew exactly where you meant.

But when you're dealing w/ the wider world, there are other cities that are referred to as "The City" in their own regions.

having sex and posting on the BBS.

At the same time?!

Not enough typos for that.




I woke up this morning and for a fraction of a second thought: "good, Sunday, I don't need to be at work until tomorrow". Then I remembered I don't work like that anymore. That put me in a good mood all day long.

Not with my level of talent.

 

[ShamelessMcBundy]

I'm home alone, sitting in my underwear and watching Star Trek. That's pretty awesome.

Did some grocery shopping at the farmer's market... went for a stroll and picked up a DVD and a video game on impulse... came home for tea and caught up with X-Factor On Demand... got through three loads of laundry and a load of the dishwasher. Quite a typical Sunday, really. A bit geriatric all in all I suppose, but sure beats Sundays of a few years ago when I would usually be nursing a colossal hangover, hiding from the sun, bleary eyed, and trying to catch up on lost sleep... those were the days...
